- Owner's manual
A: Yes, this lens is recommended for sports.
Q: I have a Nikon D5100. Looking to take shots of paintball action. What lens?
A: The 70-200 f4 is a great lens. In bright light, it focuses fast and accurately. depending on how close you want to be to the action, you might want more reach but with a DX sensor this gives you the equivalent of 300mm. The 70-300 is significantly slower focus and is a variable f-stop lens. This means the further you zoom, the less light is available to the sensor. Both are great lenses and I have shot birds in flight with both lenses so you can capture rapid action.
Q: Will this fit my D3200? Looking for good lens for indoor basketball and outdoor soccer pics.
A: undefined
Q: will this work with a SONY a200?

Q: would this fit a Nikon 3200 camera ?

Q: Is this lens compatible on a nikon1v2 and would it be good for safari
A: My 70-200 f4 is a much used lens. I'd use it on Safari for the close ups. But, I'd consider taking something longer too.

ONE GREAT ZOOM LENS
I was looking for a lens to fill a gap between my Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G lens and my Sigma 150-600mm. I was looking for the best lens for landscapes and seascapes, portraiture and even studio product shots. Here are the reasons I love this lens: 1. It's sharp at all focal lengths and all apertures. It has great color and contrast, and the bokeh is pretty good. 2. It's a constant f/4.0 aperture, not variable, which makes it pretty fast at 200mm. 3. Here's the real deal-maker for me—it has both internal focussing and internal atom. Nothing moves when you focus nor when you zoom. There is no "pumping," no air being pushed into my camera with dust and moisture to pollute my sensor. 4. It has full-time manual focusing that is fast and easy. 5. For a 70-200mm it is relatively small and light. 6. The Vibration Reduction is fantastic, allowing 3-4 stops over non VR. Compared to the Nikkor 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G this lens is way better. Compared to the 70-200mm f/2.8 VR at nearly twice the price, this lens is a real bargain. Check out its stats on dxomark.com

Light, sharp, portable
This is a great telephoto lens for travel. It's relatively light and can be handheld for a whole day of shooting without the weight being bothersome. I happen to own both this lens and the larger/bulkier f/2.8 version, and in terms of image quality, they're practically the same. While I do rely more on the f/2.8 lens for shooting in dim indoor lighting, I tend to bring the f/4 lens more often overall simply because it is so much easier to carry and can handle 90% of everything I shoot. If you shoot most often outdoors or in decent lighting levels, then save your money (and back) and consider this f/4 lens.

This lens rocks on full frame
I purchased this lens to replace my aging 80-200mm 2.8D lens. My old lens is sharp, quick, but it lacks VR. I am able to take shots indoor, hand held, at 1/50th of a second and still get a sharp image. The focus is just about perfect on my D800, right out of the box. Low light-no problem. Added bonus; its a lot lighter. I would not hesitate to buy it again.
